NOTE:
Print density is not always solved by increasing burn temperature or slowing the motor
down. If the printing process is running too hot, the print will start to look washed out and
the outer edges of each character will look darker than the inside of each character. In this
case, using less temperature on the printhead can increase the print quality.

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER
The printer requires no lubrication and only minimal maintenance. General cleaning of the
exterior surfaces with regu lar cleaning of the printhead and rollers are all that is required.
Exterior surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth moistened in a mild detergent and water
soltion. Commercial cleaners designed for electronic equipment may also be used.
CLEANING THE PRINTHEAD
1.
Open the printhead cover by releasing the latch on the side of the printer.
2.
Remove the label spindle and the ribbon cartridge exposing the printhead.
3.
Be careful not to touch the printhead with fingers or any objects other than the tip of the
cleaning pen or cleaning card (part no. 2100CARD).
4a.
Using a cleaning pen, lightly place the tip of the pen onto the printhead and rub back
and forth several times to pull up any ribbon and ink particles.
4b.
Using the cleaning card, thread the edge over the label shield and over the platen roller.
Close the printer hood and pull the card out by hand ONLY. Do not press the FEED key
for this function. Do this after every 4 or 5 rolls of labels.
5.
Allow to dry for a few moments and replace the ribbon and labels.
